A Rover Mini Sprite, 1275 Injection SPi. I spent 2 years completely renovating this mini as a project and finally finished it last summer. Since then it has been garaged and has done only 300 miles (confirmed by the MOT certificate). Virtually everything has been replaced with new or reconditioned parts including using new stainless steel nuts and bolts were possible. All receipts are available totaling over £6000.
Although it is a 1993 mini, it has been styled as an early MK1 mini in Old English White with a black roof and arches. It has also been converted to a centre dash with the correct speedo gearing so the speedometer is accurate and has a mk1 grill and surround with bonnet straps to complete the look.
The mini has also been kitted with 7.5” brakes so if required 10” wheels can be used with no modifications required.
